SFDX force:org:open is throwing "Failed to decipher auth data" error

Hi All,

I have reached the last unit of the https://trailhead.salesforce.com/modules/sfdx_app_dev/units/sfdx_app_dev_setup_dx module yesterday and thought of continuing today. But unfortunately, force:org:open -u TempUnmanaged command is throwing an error. This command was working properly yesterday.

Please guide me.

I followed https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/188735/im-unable-to-use-sfdx-forceorgopen-command-after-authorizing-an-org-via-the-s link's answer, still no luck.

Hi Navya,

I ran the sfdx force:auth:jwt:grant before installating the GUI and it working fine. 
I have also faced the same issue while running the sfdx force:auth:jwt:grant command after installing of GUI in my linux machine.
Before setup display environment variable 
After the above error I have set the environmental variable export DISPLAY=:1.0 and ran the same command then got the below error.
User-added image
Finally, I have removed the .sfdx folder which is located in my user home(/home/ec2-user/.sfdx) directory and ran the same command then it is working as expected.

I hope it helps you!
